What is something buoyant?
Boat
What is the meaning of buoyant?
Buoyant - is something that 'floats' on the surface of whatever medium it is resting on. For example a boat on water is buoyant.
What is the direction of the buoyant force?
If you're talking about something in say a tank of water, the buoyant force points up and opposes the downward force of gravity......
What force makes people float?
gravity
What is the buoyant force acting on a 1000 pound floating in water?
If it's floating, then the buoyant force on it is exactly equal to its weight. (That makes the vector sum of the vertical forces zero, which is why the object is not accelerating vertically.)

Why does a rock has to sink?
A rock sinks because it is not buoyant. Buoyancy is whether or not something floats in water. There are three levels of buoyancy; buoyant, neutrally buoyant, and not buoyant. When something is buoyant, that means it has a lower density than water, causing it to float. When something is neutrally buoyant, that means it has roughly the same density as water, causing it to float half way between the bottom and the surface. Finally, when something is not buoyant (like a rock), that means that it has a higher density than water, causing it to sink to the bottom.
Is lead buoyant?
No, lead is not buoyant. It is incredibly dense, which makes it very heavy, and not able to float.
If something is buoyant does it float?
yes
What makes it easy to float?
Salt Water, because it is makes things more buoyant.
Does less ballast makes an object less buoyant?
No, the opposite.
How do you test if something is buoyant?
You put it in water and see if it floats.
Why a lifejacket helps you float?
It's full of air that makes it buoyant
What makes the sea so buoyant?
Salt makes sea water more buoyant. The Dead Sea has the most salt of any sea in the world, and even people who cannot swim have no problem floating in it.
Can something be buoyant in gaseous environment?
Yes, hot air, helium, and hydrogen balloons are naturally buoyant in the atmosphere, which is composed primarily of gas.
What is a waftage?
A waftage is the conveyance of something on a buoyant medium, such as air or water.
